The Uruguayan star continued to promote his advantages to help the home team win convincingly against the Samba dancers.

Darwin Nunez was the key factor in helping Uruguay win against Brazil, thereby taking 2nd place in the World Cup qualifying rankings from their opponent.

The Liverpool striker is placed at the highest level in coach Marcelo Bielsa’s tactical system. However, Nunez often tends to play more on the left. This seems to be a tactical intention to exploit the young defender of the Brazilian team – Yan Couto.

And from such a situation, Nunez and his teammates found the goal to break the deadlock. Midfielder Maximiliano Araujo had a smart escape on the left wing, completely eliminating the block from the Brazilian defender to easily enter the penalty area, before returning the ball to Nunez to head the ball past goalkeeper Ederson.

The first attack in this phase belonged to Araujo, who absorbed most of the Brazilian defense, but Nunez also showed his killer instinct by choosing the right position to receive a return pass from his teammates.

Not only showing sharpness in ball situations, Nunez also showed his usual strengths at Liverpool, which is diligently pressing and supporting defense.

Nunez had a notable tackle and twice successfully prevented the dribbles of the Samba dancers. Besides, he also had 15 duels with the rival (6 wins).

The dynamism from the 24-year-old player is essential for the pressing system that makes Marcelo Bielsa’s brand.

Even as the match gradually moved towards the final minutes, Nunez still showed a strong physical foundation.

In the situation that led to the goal to double the gap, Nunez did a great job by successfully shielding the ball from the siege of two Brazilian defenders and making a pass for his teammates to comfortably finish.

From a name that was considered a failed contract, even facing the risk of leaving Liverpool after just one season, the 24-year-old striker is gradually rediscovering the image that fans expect.

After 10 appearances at the club level, Nunez also had 4 goals and 3 assists. With his current form, the former Benfica player will have his own place in the Kop squad, although the competition for the striker position here is quite fierce as Jurgen Klopp has many quality options. like Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo.

After the recruitment campaign ends, Nunez will likely be given the opportunity to start in the Merseyside derby with Diogo Jota receiving a suspension after his red card in the match against Tottenham.
